OVERGOAT.

Application filed March 4, 1908.

description, in connection with the accompanying drawing, is specification, like numerals on the drawing representing like parts.

This invention relates especially to overco and has for its object to provide an overcoat with means for sustaining a hat and an umbrella so that the hat or the umbrella or both may be secured to the overcoat when the latter is hung up.

in the preferred embodiment of my invention the hat-sustaining means and umbrella-holder will be placed on the inside of the overcoat where they will not be seen and where their presence will not be noticed. hen a person having an overcoat embodying my invention desires to hang up his overcoat, hat and umbrella, he merely has to attach the hat to the hat-sustaining means, place the umbrella in the umbrella-holder, and to hang the coat on the hook provided for it. The hat and umbrella being secured to the coat cannot become lost and they may be hung away in connection with the overcoat without taking up any appreciable room.

An overcoat embodying my invention is especially desirable at times when a person desires to check his coat, hat and umbrella for he can take his umbrella and hat and hang them inside his coat and check the coat as one article, thus doing avay with the necessity of checking three separate articles as nv: necessary.

lrly invention can also be coats and other garments, an. ticipate that it will find usefulness in con 1 COLLS in the drawings wherein l have shown some embodiments of my invention for the purpose of illustrating the p "inciple thereof, Figure 1 is a perspective view of an overcoat showing my improvement thereto; Fig. 2 is an enlarged section on the liners-m, Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a view of a portion of the overcoat showing a modification or" the invention.

under coat. in embodying my invention to such a coat, I secure to the inside of the coat a clip or other device for holding a hat, and also a holder for sustaining an umbrella, cane or similar article. in the pre 'lerred embodiment of my invention these clips or holders are secured to the inside of a trap which in turn is secured to the inside of the overcoat, so that the flap normally covers the holders and obscures them from view. If desired, however, the device for holding the cane or umbrella may be in the form oi a pocket made in the garment.

In Figs. 1 and 2 the flap to which the holders or clips are secured is designated by 4 and it is shown as having its upper edge 5 sewed to the inside of the coat, the lower edge of the flap being free so that it may be turned upwardly. On the inside of the flap is a clip or holder (3 which is adapted to grasp the rim of a hatand also another clip or holder 7 adapted to grasp the handle of an umbrella or cane. ihese clips or holders may have any suitable or usual construction and when not in use they take up very little room. In fact when they are applied to the overcoat as shown their presence will not be noticed by the person wearing the overcoat. The clip 6 is shown as having two arms 8 between which the rim of the hat 9 is gripped, and the umbrella holder is also shown as being provided with two resiliently-connected arms between which the handle of the umbrella 10 is held.

Whenever the person wearing an overcoatembodying my invention desires to hang the coat up and to hang or put away his hat and umbrella or cane, the hat may be fastened to the clip 6, as shown in Fig. 2, and the umbrella or cane may be secured to the holder T, as shown in Fig. 1, and the coat with the hat and umbrella sustained thereby may then be hung up in the usual manner. The p esence of the hat and the umbrella or cane does not materially increase the space occupied by the overcoat when hung up and the attaching of these articles to the overcoat makes it sure that they will not become lost.

In Fig. 3 I have illustrated an embodiment of my invention wherein the overcoat is formed with a pocket 12 of a size to receive a cane or umbrella. In this embodiment the pocket forms a substitute for the clip 7. This construction, however, involves a special construction of overcoat, while the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 and 2 is one that may be applied to any overcoat novv already made because the flap 4 having the clips or holders secured thereto can readily be sewed into any overcoat.

My invention is not limited to any particular form of clip or holder for the hat or umbrella, nor is my invention limited to attaching these devices to overcoats as it involves securing them to other garments besides overcoats.

Having fully described my invention, What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. The combination with a coat, of a flap secured to the inside thereof, and a clip for sustaining a hat secured to the inside of the fiap and between the latter and the inside of the coat. v

2. The combination with a coat, of a flap secured to the inside thereof, and an umbrella holder secured to the inside of the flap.

3. The combination with a coat, of a flap secured to the inside thereof and attached thereto at its upper edge, and a clip for sus taining a hat, and an umbrella holder secured to the inside of the flap.

in testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
